How much can I lose in a month with what I'm doing?

Ok if you have tread some of my old ?s on here, Than you would know that im really trying to get in shape. Im 6'2 287lbs. The only way I could diskribe my body type is, im right in the middle of Mesomorphic & Endomorphic. I look like a bodybuilder with a tommy lol. Now I have been eating right for the past few weeks and getting on the treadmill everyday for 40 mins. also, when i am on the treadmill, When I get off im pretty sweaty and I feel like I worked my body really well. Im also doing crunchs afterwords and boxing to. Now my goul is to lose 50 pounds and I was wondering in the ball park about how much I could lose in a month with what im doing

p.s About how manu callories do you all think im burning when I work out. My treadmill has a Fat/callorie counter. its saying that im only burning 280 callories and 90 fat callories with my 40 min jog. can that be right????. I hope im burning more than that. Thank everybody

The larger you are, the more calories you are burning, per hour, with aerobic exercise. Calorie burning counters are estimates only based on the avergae size person. Just think...if an average person were walking the treadmill while carrying a 50 pound weighted vest, they would burn more calories, right? Same difference.

The more you shrink in size the more you will have to amp up your exercise to maintain that rate of weightloss...(takes more effort for someone to move 300 pounds vs. 200 pounds...still with me?)

you haven't mentioned how many calories per day you average in intake. you have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound. If you are consuming 1800 calories per day, for example....and your workout is burning 500 calories, plus the calories you expend just surviving (yes you even burn calories while sleeping...a 120 pound woman in a coma still needs 800 calories per day to maintain her weight..) So lets say at your size by merely existing not including exercise, you are burning 1800 calories per day. Factor in basic walking and moving through out the day, and add in say 800. So just day to day you are burning 2600 calories, not including say 500 in your 40 minute workout. So that would total 3100 calories per day. but if you are consuming 1800 calories, that means you are only burning 1300 calories per day.

at needing to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound at your weight and the other assumptions I made, you should lose a pound and a half per week.

Dont let that discourage you either. You will also be gaining muscle, which weighs more than fat, so you will look better, faster. you may lose more in your waist, for instance than a pound and a half...but the scale wont show as much because you make up for it in muscle gain...

Hope that makes sense.
